Oklahoma Sooners - Tuesday - 8 pm - ESPN
-
@Crimsonorblue22 Yes.
Let’s hope this kid for OU misses. He isn’t a good ft shooter but he canned his last two…
-
OU hasn’t made a bucket in about 4 minutes but they have been getting to the line.
-
Everybody going to drive
-
54% ft shooter is 6-6…
-
Poke a Doke in effect…
-
The refs helping out OU with the call off the ball on Doke
-
Shouldn’t be able to foul Doke when he doesn’t have the ball…
-
Ball should be given back to KU after the fts in that case.
-
HA! Illegal screen.
-
WTH again with Refs helping out OU
-
Gotta get Doke out of there…
-
Self needs to take Doke out
-
Lots of KU players with 4 fouls…
-
Trae just jedi mind tricked the refs.
-
Can’t believe Doke is still in there.
-
The ref on the near side to the camera is only watching Doke
-
Bald guy is not even watching the game JUST DOKE
-
Young getting the Michael Jordan treatment by the refs.
-
Somehow OU keeps shitting their pants.
-
This is a set up and Self needs to get him out
-
Put Mitch in the game seriously.
-
Or Garrett
-
UGH come on Bill.
-
Well, we lose. Oh well.
-
I feel sorry for Doke, but Jesus! Can’t he make 3 out of 10 FTs?
-
Let’s be honest Self blew this game. Also screw Lon Kruger even if he was smart to do it.
-
@BShark not over
-
Did you see Doke standing in the corner? Self didn’t want the call on him so he didn’t even go inside? What kind of coaching is that?
-
-
What was Self thinking? Three straight turnovers! This loss will be because of his choke.
-
Watch another call on Doke is comming

No other way to spin it.
-
@BShark That is right. I can not believe he left him the game. Every missed free throw was a turnover. STUPID!!!
-
Now it is
-
Leaving Manek wide open seems sub-optimal.
-
Game set and match.
-
No way we should have lost. We were clearly the better team when Dok played outside of crunch time. Self was an idiot tonight.
-
We’re not going to win every close game, but I think we blew it with Doke missing FTs. Should have subbed him out earlier.
-
@hawkmoon2020 You will see a replay of this from now on. We are lucky no one has used it before now. STUPID!!!

Self blew it. Three straight times were three turnovers. Kept Oklahoma in it. Self was an idiot.
-
OU told the referees they would be taking fouls against Doke. That’s why the officials were watching him so closely. Making sure things don’t get out of hand.
This is on Self. He allowed Kruger to make him play 4 on 5. You can’t just put Doke in the corner there. You have to take him out. You can’t let him be the goat there.
This one is on Bill Self, not Doke.
-
My wife started telling me to calm down at the 3:30 minute mark when Ubrika was still in the game. Bill lost this one.
-
We need a 2nd option to have Svi shoot Dokes free throws from the 3pt line!
-
Agree it is on Self. Very surprised. It’s not that we desperately needed him for rebounds.
-
I can’t remember a time when I questioned Bill Self like this. He’s the guy who has a 80% winning percentage and is in the HOF. I drink beer on my couch. But what the fuck just happened? We were in control until Doke was getting fouled and we did nothing. Am I missing something? This one hurts.
-
I think there is a method to the madness of leaving Doke in. Coach Self is sending a Doke a message…I am going to leave you in so you better start hitting FTs like you do in practice. What else can it be?
-
Was thinking the same thing. Must have been a reason. Maybe to give him more confidence and experience making FT in future games? Nah!
-
But what does this do to Doke as far as confidence? He knows OU’s whole strategy was to foul and see if he missed. That could wreck his confidence long term from the FT line.

You’d think Self is smarter than that. But two final fours does say a lot.
-
Bill blew it. Better he learn from it now than in a couple of months. Maybe he sacrificed a game after a surprise win at WVU.
It wasn’t even like Mitch was playing poorly, so I’m extremely confused. I’ll buy the Bill was sending a message line just to make myself feel better.
